'Everyone has rallied to help us,' say sons of assaulted US tourist

Mike and Jesse Rizzuto flew to Ireland from New York to be by their father's bedside this week.

The children of an American tourist who suffered life-changing injuries in an assault in Dublin have described their “shock” at seeing their father for the first time in hospital.

Stephen Rizzuto, 57, from Buffalo in New York, came to travel around the country and visit the home of his late mother from Co Mayo.
